Depending upon the generation's organization, use IEBGENER or IEBCOPY or SORT.
This is no different that doing a PDS member copy or sequential copy to a sequential file -- so why are you even posting the question?

The generation concept is a form of NAMING convention not DATA FORMAT.

This may work for you...
//STEP010 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUD DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//FILEA DD DSN=GDS.REPORT(+0),
// DISP=SHR
//FILEB DD DSN=GDS.REPORT.PS,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=(TEST,1),
//* VOL=SER=???,
// SPACE=(TRK,(15,30),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=???,BLKSIZE=0)
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO -
INFILE(FILEA) -
OUTFILE(FILEB)
/*
//

Or you could use ICEGENER or IEBGENER or the COPY option of your sort product. IEB/ICEGENER are favourites as you do not need any control cards.

Perhaps IDCAMS LISTCAT, with the output going to a dataset not SYSOUT=? You can then format the output dataset to what you want.
